Somebody needs a nap:

John Edwards’ campaign is launching a full-on assault on the media for what they claim is inadequate and unfair press coverage of the former North Carolina senator’s presidential bid. “For the better part of a year the media has focused on two celebrity candidates,” Edwards Communications Director Chris Kofinis said Thursday. “And they continue to act as if there were only two candidates in the race, even after John Edwards beat Senator Clinton in Iowa and poll after poll show competitive races in Nevada, South Carolina and other key states.” On Thursday, the campaign went live with a Web site that sites several recent news headlines that only include Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It also includes recent statistics from the Project for Excellence in Journalism that indicate that from January 6-11, Edwards received just a fraction of the news coverage allotted to his two rivals.

A competitive race in South Carolina? In the Real Clear Politics polling average, Edwards is down 30 points to Obama. Maybe the media can run a front page story tomorrow on how Edwards has lost his marbles.
